Trying to sneak around the side before heading up the ramp sort of pays off, but it shouldn't have. I'll take it, though. My two-for-one splat doesn't really help us that much, as it turns out, and the purple team take control. Now I have to be careful heading back, ...

Giddy-up! The Grizzco Blaster to start with. But that's all Mr Grizz is being generous with, as the first wave is a medium-tide Hunt-the-Goldie. Still, a squidmate finds the Goldie quickly, and we dogpile on it for the Golden Eggs, bagging us eleven on the first attempt. Not too shabby. ...

Hitting the flank at the start, with the wall for protection, keeps me safe for a bit, although I don't have much effect on the battle for the Splat Zones. A Robot Chicken is almost my downfall too, as I have to move and, perhaps impetuously, head towards the Splat ...

The H-3 Nozzlenose is a surprise weapon, and one that I have barely practiced with. This could be a disastrous first wave. Even just inking the Spawning Grounds before the salmonids appear has my feeling uncomfortable with it. At least the first boss being a Steelhead appear below me gives ...

I like that right-hand route on the Manta Maria, mostly for its smooth squidding. It doesn't really put me in a good position for much though, particularly with a short-range weapon like the Sploosh-o-matic. Still, I get one splat by repositioning, although my squidmates are doing the real work.
Super-jumping back ...

Mystery weapon time! Luna Blaster isn't so bad, I suppose, but I feel dirty wielding it. My inexpertise clearly shows too against the early Drizzlers, but I finally find a boss I can help with, and eventually even start collecting Golden Eggs. And, as it turns out, the bosses are ...

That's a solid start to the battle, sneaking around the Rainmaker for a surprise splat, and working up the Towers to be near the podium. My squidmates aren't far behind either, although when I try to rejoin them, despite managing to avoid a Splashdown, that Roller is deadly with her ...

My opening gambit fails again. I swear, I'll either make that work or be splatted trying. Still, my Curling Bomb gets a direct hit, and my ink spreads enough to get an assist too. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all. I get to super-jump back too, although to a ...

So I was stalking CallieYuga (see recent Salmon Runs) and saw him as available when I poked my nose in to the 'Friends' section of the lobby. It turns out to be relatively easy to join other inklings in battles, if the timing is right and you don't care about ...

My idea to drop down on unsuspecting squids is perhaps good, particularly with a short-range weapon like the Sploosh-o-matic, but the timing is sadly off. My squidmates take care of the orange team, though, and quite thoroughly. I'm expecting to hit hiding squids in that sea of orange, but there's ...
